Geneva
"relieve(d) the pressure of the sanctions that forced the
radical Islamic regime to the brink of surrendering its pursuit of a
nuclear bomb."

"Now
(it) knows it will never have to." Iran conceded plenty in
return for little. Not according to WT editors.

They
agreed with Obama claiming Geneva "requires Iran to make only a
modest down payment on the central problem."

They
described terms agreed on as his "run-and-hide strategy for
confronting crises..."

They
accused Syria's Assad of "employ(ing) poison gas to kill
hundreds of thousands of Syrian rebels."

They
made other absurd comments throughout their editorial. Perhaps they
think readers are stupid. Maybe they're preaching to the choir.

Historian
Thomas Frank once called WT "a propaganda sheet whose
distortions are so obvious and so alien that it puts one in mind of
those official party organs one encounters when traveling in
authoritarian countries."

Its
editors called "(t)he world a more dangerous place than it was"
before Geneva. The deal is bad news for everybody."

"John
Kerry returned to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to urge lawmakers not to
enact legislation that would impose punitive sanctions on Iran if
negotiations fail to stop the mullahs' march toward a bomb."

Obama
officials oppose more economic pressure, they added. Kerry "hope
to rely on the mood music theory of international relations, whereby
Western concessions and indulgence are supposed to create an
atmosphere conducive to a strong agreement."

..."Iranian
hardliners" have power enough "to derail any deal that
doesn't advance their goal to building nuclear weapons," they
claimed.

Obama's
"opposition to new sanctions with a delayed trigger feeds
suspicions that it is eager to accept just about any agreement with
Iran."

"Members
of Congress from both parties who want a good and credible deal can
help by passing this sanctions bill," they stressed.

Capitol
Hill hardliners want one. Some want much more. They want war. They
want another country ravaged and destroyed.

They
want another vassal state replacing it. They're strongly against
resolving Syria's conflict peacefully. So is Obama. He didn't wage
war to quit.

Al
Nusra and other extremist invaders represent Washington's shock
troops. Western media turn a blind eye to their atrocities. Their
chemical weapons use goes unmentioned. Assad gets blamed for their
crimes.

Western
funding, arming, training and direction are ignored. The road to
Tehran runs through Damascus. If Syria falls, Iran is next.

Obama's
got three more years to achieve regime change in both countries.
Expect him to take full advantage.
